      Welcome to the forum @Andrea + mom! Thanks for sharing a level with us! I tried playing it and unfortunately I only got as far is the block in this picture:

      As you can see, there is no path to the win from any direction. I am able to finish this level, but only with some acrobatics of B. As this was uploaded to the Logic/Puzzle category, I'm stumped as to what I have missed. Can you please share a hint?

      Hi @nGord.
      I had contemplated whether to put this one under "timing" or "bug exploit". But in the end I considered it a "puzzle" (a "trick" if you will).
      I can't really give you any obvious hint without spoiling it for everyone,
      but if you do two actions in the correct sequence,
      the game is easily completed without acrobatics of any sort.

      Thank you for the encouragement! I was making a mistake:
      I thought that only the win with the light shining up from it was able to be triggered. I clearly remembered this incorrectly. Since correcting my mistake, I had little problem in completing the level. Although, the solution does require the use of one exploit, it also preys on an instability, but not one that is not well known.
      Hence I should have had no problem with this level. And for that reason I am most happy to award the best rating. I think you chose the category wisely. Your daughter's level is a clever design in a quick-to-play package. Her use of the motors to build the "Orbiters" was intelligent and lent a nice flair to the artistic appeal of the level. I enjoyed playing it and I thank her for sharing her creativity! Again, welcome to you both!!
